Better UX for page bleed and margins

Summary:

After more than a week of working with the Pages Tool, I just discovered that the icon of the text entry in the page margins is actually a button that shows a popover of options. — This is actually a nonsense and it makes it difficult for new users to discover this feature.

We need a better design for this feature to be discoverable.

Adam's suggested splitting that icon into an actual button.
